The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 491 Arrival

In the dark, candlelight is soft.

The sound of the waves is clear to the ears.

In the peaceful atmosphere, Kieran and O'Hara subconsciously met each other's eyes, and then instantly shifted their gazes.

O'Hara blushed slightly, tilted her head and looked out of the narrow window.

Qin Ran lowered his head and picked the food on the plate.

He hopes to divert attention with food.

This is not a very good idea.

But it was the only thing Qin Ran could think of.

As for the result?

As O'Hara also began to join in the meal, an inexplicable silence began to appear between the two, mixed with a hint of embarrassment.

During the entire dinner process, only the collision of the knife and fork with the dinner plate remained.

Moreover, it is very subtle.

Both of them were cautious, trying not to let themselves make any noise.

There are two words used to describe Qin Ran's feeling at the moment: troublesome and laborious.

To put it more simply, Qin Ran had never had such a torturous dinner.

"I'm stuffed!"

After quickly consuming his share of food, Kieran walked quickly to the outside of the cabin.

He just couldn't wait any longer.

At this moment, he would rather O'Hara tell some past stories about 'him' than keep silent like this.

What a torment!

Walking out of the cabin, facing the sea breeze, looking at the starry sky and moon at night, Qin Ran let out a long breath.

Kieran had already made up his mind, before O'Hara returned to his own cabin, he would definitely not step into that cabin.

Putting down the backpack and the box containing [Words of Arrogance], Kieran just leaned on it, squinted his eyes, and waited quietly.

After a few minutes, Kieran opened his eyes.

It wasn't O'Hara's departure, but Isinde who appeared in front of him with a smile on his face.

Looking at the captain of Coral who made an unforgettable dinner for him, Qin Ran frowned, instinctively thinking that he should also leave some unforgettable memories for him.

"Aisinde, have you heard of night swimming?"

Qin Ran asked like this.

"Night swimming?"

"of course I know!"

"Was popular among young people on the west coast for a long time, until the "predator" of the night appeared, and it was gradually forgotten by people!"

The captain of the Coral, who thought he had done a good thing, didn't react at all, and just followed Qin Ran's words.

"Well, I want to watch Night Swim now."

Qin Ran nodded and said calmly.

"Now I want to see... ah ah ah!"

Before Essinde finished speaking, he was thrown overboard by Qin Ran. The series of screams broke the tranquility of the night.

"The captain has fallen into the water!"

"Hurry up, the captain is overboard!"

...

The people on duty on the deck shouted loudly, and those who fell asleep were also awakened.

It was already ten minutes later when Eisinde was scooped up on deck.

Seeing the crew members staring at him in surprise, Essinde's face turned red.

Having a captain overboard is nothing to brag about.

especially……

Need help from others.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a ship under the command of the Templar, and everyone was a member of the Templar, based on this alone, Isinde would be questioned whether he would continue to serve as the captain.

After all, no sailor wants to serve a landlubber captain.

After dismissing the sailors who were watching, Ai Xinde walked towards Qin Ran angrily.

He wanted to question Qin Ran why he did this.

However, after seeing Qin Ran's calm expression, Ai Xinde's anger disappeared involuntarily, and instead a chill rushed to the back of his head.

"Before……"

"Did I do something wrong again?"

Ai Xinde, who is not stupid, finally reacted.

Therefore, when Ai Xinde stood in front of Qin Ran, there was only a wry smile on his face.

"I think everything should be communicated in words!"

Said the captain of the Coral.

"But sometimes, other methods are needed!"

Qin Ran did not refute the other party, but insisted on his own opinion.

Immediately, the wry smile on Ai Xinde's face became more intense.

And just when Ai Xinde was about to give up unnecessary conversations with such a stubborn person like Qin Ran, Qin Ran suddenly asked, "What do you think of the encounter in the evening today?"

Immediately, the wry smile on Ai Xinde's face disappeared.

The captain of Coral looked at Qin Ran with a serious expression.

"Did you find anything?"

Aisinde asked.

"No!"

"But at least I know that this is not a coincidence - in the vast sea, it is almost impossible to lock on a special ship like the Coral, but the other party did it. How do you think the other party did it?"

Qin Ran said with a playful face.

"There can be no traitors on my ship!"

Eisinde emphasized.

The captain of the Coral has a more serious expression than before. The thin beards on his lips are standing one by one because of his tight lips, like hedgehogs hugging into a ball.

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows?"

As Qin Ran spoke, he picked up his backpack and suitcase, and walked towards the cabin.

He clearly saw O'Hara carefully avoiding other people and returning to his cabin.

Apparently, inexplicably, O'Hara didn't want anyone to see her.

But it still fell into Kieran's eyes.

Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders and didn't care at all.

Instead, after returning to the cabin, he directly started exploring the 'Power of Dawn'.

As for the possible traitors on board?

Kieran believed that Ai Xinde would handle it properly.

...

After a sudden attack, the Coral did not encounter any enemies during the next three days of travel.

The journey is smooth and smooth.

It seemed that even the previous attacks had become unreal.

But Qin Ran, who was on the Coral, could clearly feel the turmoil in the calm atmosphere.

Even if he doesn't step out of the cabin very often.

In the past three days, the exploration of the 'Power of Dawn' has still not made any progress.

However, fortunately, thanks to the dinner that night, O'Hara has been in an inexplicable state and dare not appear in front of Kieran.

This made Qin Ran greatly relieved.

Carrying his belongings, Kieran couldn't help but raise his mouth as he looked at the port of Hollons, which became clearer in his vision.

Although it is not the real West Coast City, Qin Ran's mood becomes very good when he thinks that it is only less than three hours' drive away from West Coast City.

In his plan, before going to Ceylon, he would return to West Coast City.

Not only because it is the place he is most familiar with, but also because he still has questions about alchemy and potions

Charles and Simmons asked for advice.

Expert-level [mysterious knowledge] is far from enough for Kieran.

Although Kieran didn't confirm which one of the four skills of Alchemy, Potions, Astrology, and Miraculous Biology would be raised to the proficient level in the end.

However, if he wants to upgrade [Mysterious Knowledge] to the master level, the remaining three skills must be the entry-level prerequisites, but Qin Ran has to continue to take care of it.

It's just that accidents always occur.

When the Coral sailed into the pier of Hollons Harbor, Kieran saw Elle Jones standing on the pier and Charles and Simmons behind the girl.

The girl also noticed Qin Ran who stepped off the boat.

Joy first appeared on his face.

But then he let out a cold snort.

Because, at some point, O'Hara had already come to Kieran's side, walking side by side with Kieran.

Elle Jones immediately cast a bad look at O'Hara.

O'Hara responded without showing any weakness.

The smell of gunpowder gradually filled the pier.
